Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Summer holiday passengers flying from Heathrow Airport could have their flights disrupted by striking cargo crew, a union today.
Unite said cargo staff working for Swissport Cargo Services will be staging two three-day strikes - starting at 6.30am on Wednesday June 27 - after the company refused to discuss a pay claim.
Passenger flights could be disrupted because the strikes will delay cargo being put on the aircraft, warned Unite.
Unite's 275 members at Swissport will strike from 6.30am on Wednesday June 27 to 6.29am on Saturday June 30, and then from 6.30am on Wednesday July 4 to 6.29am on Saturday July 7.
